Google account calendar not being synchronized anymore

[preston91]

Google account calendar not being synchronized anymore (from one point onwards - after some google update or MPE app update or user tweak on the phone side??) - maybe because account has two names "xxxx@gmail.com" and "yyyy@otheremail.com"... in some places on the phone/MPE appear one or the other or both names

Please check the setting "Calendars to sync..." in the settings of MyPhoneExplorer Client on the phone - are the Google calendars maybe disabled there?

[preston91]

All Calendars are selected in the MyPhoneExplorer Client on the phone. And I don't think I changed anything there between the time it worked and now.

Is there a 3rd program like e.g. Outlook included in the sync?
Please describe your problem ("Google account calendar not being synchronized anymore") in more detail

My situation is similar - I use Outlook on PC and phone, and their calendars sync automatically. However, I also have Samsung Active 2 watch. which syncs automatically with Google calendars. I therefore use MPE to sync(on-way !) the Outlook calendar to the Google calendar. This sync stopped working some time ago, so no watch events updating from that moment on.
"Calendars to sync" on the phone shows three entries:
1) Contacts (what is that ????? - not checked)
2) Holidays in Israel (checked)
3) xxxx@gmail.com - (checked)

"Add new events" has only one radio button - xxxx@gmail.com - selected
"Manage local calendars (???) - no entries.

One more factoid - MPE shows most (but not all) of the events (present in Outlook, but not in Google calendar !) as "Holidays in Israel", and this cannot be changed (grayed-out field in "edit" window.

Suggestions ?

@cshenorr
Are the new Outlook appointments displayed in MPE (calendar = xxxx@gmail.com)?

[preston91]

For my case - Outlook or other 3rd party programs are not involved.

"Google account calendar not being synchronized anymore" -
- Google account: I mean the calendar labeled "xxxx@gmail.com" (in some places). In other places the same calendar is labeled "yyyy@otheremail.com" (when logging into Google I can use either - so both are "correct" in that sense, but I wonder if that double-naming is the reason for the sync to stop working)
- "some places" I mean some of: MPE desktop, MPE settings app on phone, Google Calendar app
- "not being synchronized anymore" - new/changed events don't propagate to the other device when synced (contacts and notes work OK)

...new/changed events don't propagate to the other device when synced...

Which sync is not working?
1. Google-Account <> phone
2. phone <> MPE

[preston91]

2. phone <> MPE

Synching with Google is completely OFF, so it doesn't interfere.

OK thank you for the info !
I advise the following:
- Export the currently existing appointments (right mouse button)
- Create a new calendar under phone => MPE-Client => Settings => Manage local calendars =
- Under phone => MPE-Client => Settings => Calendars to sync only leave this one new calendar activated
- In the calendar app as well: Only activate this calendar for viewing
- MPE => Calendar => Blue Arrow (Download entire)
- Import of appointments
- Sync

As intermediate solution I took recreated the Google calendar entries manually in another calendar.

I still have to test the other suggestions, thank you icke1954!

I found that creating a local calendar allows syncing of existing google calendars:

- Create a new calendar on the phone: MPE-Client => Settings => Manage local calendars =
- On the phone: MPE-Client => Settings => Calendars to sync => select this new calendar as well as any others you want to sync =
- On the PC: MyPhoneExplorer => File => Settings => Sync => Calendars to Sync =>select the new calendar for syncing =

The new calendar does not have to have any entries.

Once the new calendar is set up on the phone & selected for syncing, all other calendars sync as expected.
